- W3099969483 abstract "Productive Limitation: Painting Emergent Abstract Languages Through SerialForm explores how following systems of limitation and constraint can highlight theemergent qualities within a serial, practice-led and abstract artistic project. Torepeatedly limit a practice (its contents and guiding rules over time), is to engagein a process that paradoxically maximises the opportunities to reveal and attendto the productivity, diversity and subtle nuances of its outcomes. Frames of productivelimitation thus lead us to ask: how can limitation function as productive?and what thematic connections or discontinuities can be revealed in using thisprocess?This PhD focuses on the works from the Unstable Object series which consistsof thirty-eight abstract paintings exploring serial iterations of depicted form,limited to rectilinear and diagonal trajectories of a coloured, painted 4cm beammark. The paintings are both worked on and displayed in a variety of differentconfigurations and rotations. This exegesis argues that the intervening open-endednessregarding the positioning and orientation of the paintings connect thesespecific modular processes to ways of enacting thought, which in turn make visiblethinking processes and actions akin to undertaking a game.Within the exegesis, themes of spatiality and language are exploredthrough philosophical interrogation using the work of theorists Jacques Derrida,Elizabeth Grosz and Ludwig Wittgenstein, whom I situate in propositional dialoguewith the works from the Unstable Object series. The research focuses on Grosz’stheories of space and the liminal space of the ‘in-between’, Derrida’s concepts oftrace and erasure and Wittgenstein’s text Philosophical Investigations, throughwhich his pedagogical questioning of meaning through the concept of ‘languagegames’ is explored.As the Unstable Object series progresses, the forms that emerge becomesituated as an abstract language with linguistic potential. This is perhaps not a languagethat we need to understand explicitly, but a language that contains its ownabstract specificity which moves us toward our own ways of reading. In this way,the project draws new relations between the abstract, the blurry and the ambiguous,which become useful tools within processes of making, reading and thinking.The Unstable Object series uses the repeated beam mark to slowly exploreprocesses of building within painting, where the aim is to build forms whichare not recognisable as objects from the external world. The exegesis, however,goes on to view the works through a filter of things that are of this world—architecturalstructures (facades or internal structures); maps and the topographical marksthey contain (borders, boundaries, gaps and intervals); and finally, through a filterof expanded language (diagram, symbol and syntax). The reader is continuouslyasked to read the works through both temporal and visual frameworks. Throughthis process of imagining the paintings ‘this way, now this way’ (a method borrowedfrom Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations), the project gathers associationsfrom outside the abstract that enrich and connect the research. Emergentanomalies and imperfections (the qualities that are made visible by implementingthe productive constraints of the series), are pursued theoretically as researchmarkers throughout the project. These elements, such as the wobbly or degradededge, the mistake, and the estimate are also in direct counter to the predominanthistory of hard-edge geometric abstraction. This project allows the emergenceof more uncontrollable forms like indecision, mistakes and intuitive thought to bemutually productive elements within a structure of systems and rules." @default.
